Resumen

Justificación y Objetivos: los trabajadores de la salud tienen un alto riesgo de contraer infecciones durante los brotes de enfermedades. Por tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de COVID-19 entre profesionales sanitarios vacunados y no vacunados. Métodos: estudio observacional y transversal, que evaluó casos de síndrome gripal ocurridos entre marzo de 2020 y diciembre de 2021 en trabajadores de la salud vacunados y no vacunados con CoronaVac o Astrazeneca en un hospital del extremo sur de Brasil. El estudio incluyó casos de síndrome gripal caracterizados y monitoreados por intuición del sector de salud ocupacional y a los que se les realizaron pruebas diagnósticas por RT-PCR para SARS-CoV-2. Para verificar los factores y las fortalezas de las asociaciones, se utilizó la medida de la Razón de Prevalencia estimada mediante análisis de regresión de Poisson con ajuste de varianza. Resultados: se evaluaron 1.088 casos de síndrome gripal ocurridos en profesionales de la salud entre 2020 y 2021. Al ajustar por sexo, edad, función, sector, tipo de vacuna o diagnóstico previo de COVID-19, la prevalencia de COVID-19 entre los casos profesionales no vacunados fue de 51,5. % (IC 95%: 46,5-56,5) y 32,1% (IC 95%: 25,3-38,8) entre profesionales no vacunados. Además, la vacunación contra COVID-19 redujo la prevalencia de nuevas infecciones en un 33% (RP: 0,67; IC 95%: 0,56-0,81). Conclusión: la vacunación contra COVID-19 redujo significativamente la prevalencia de COVID-19 entre los trabajadores de la salud, independientemente de sexo, edad, sector, función, tipo de vacuna o diagnóstico previo de COVID-19.
